Protect Mission Critical Infrastructure

CPLANE helps defense installations, civilian agencies, and the system integrators who serve them replace proprietary PLCs and DCS nodes with an open, O-PAS-based system. Cybersecurity is designed in.

Forklift Replacement Is Not the Only Path

Aging proprietary controllers are a readiness problem and an operations problem. Spares get harder. Every patch needs its own window.

A phased approach keeps field wiring and modernizes compute in steps. That is the path that fits an installation budget and an agency review.

How We Start

Phased modernization that keeps the installation, or the plant, in service.

Step 1

Map What Is Exposed

Controller inventory, where remote access lives, and which systems cannot tolerate a single-vendor outage.

Step 2

Prove One Island

Live control starts on one isolatable system. The rest stays on the installed stack until that island proves itself.

Step 3

Keep the Integrator

CPLANE does not go around the SI who already knows the facility. Engineering, the integrator, and operations stay in the loop.

Step 4

Evaluate on the Fusion 500

Validate the platform on the Fusion 500 before a wider rollout. Same stack for an installation or a civilian agency.

Built for Government

Defense installations and critical infrastructure. One open control architecture.

Installations and critical systems

Power, water, fuel, and the process systems on an installation. Environmental systems at depots. HVAC across the base.

  • Power, water, and fuel on the installation
  • Depots, armories, and base environmental systems
  • Environmental systems, HVAC, and the utilities that keep a base in service
One pane of glass. One security perimeter.
Electrical substation equipment, including transformers, insulators, and high-voltage lines.

Lock-in is a readiness problem

When one OEM controls the outage window, the spare-parts price, and the upgrade roadmap, the mission owner has no leverage. That dependency compounds over a 25-year asset life.

  • Internet-facing controllers are a known vector
  • A full replacement is often not in the budget
  • Installations face the same controller families and the same patch problem
Modernize compute. Keep the field wiring.
Older proprietary PLC hardware.

Keep critical systems in service

Power, water, fuel, and the process systems on an installation move onto O-PAS in phases. One capital vote does not have to replace the whole site.

  • Start on one system: power, water, or fuel
  • Keep field wiring when rewiring costs more than a short outage
  • Take controllers off the public internet, then zone the installation
Your SI stays in the loop.
Electrical substation equipment, including transformers, insulators, and high-voltage lines.

Open, software-defined control

Harder to attack, easier to patch, cheaper to sustain, and free of single-vendor dependency at every layer. Software failover in under one control cycle. No extra standby chassis.

  • IEC 61131-3 applications and any OPC UA HMI
  • Patch and swap a node without a maintenance window
  • Multiple vendors can supply standards-based components
Not a lock-in swap.
Rows of electrical protection and control panels.

Designed in, not bolted on

CISA advisories and DoD zero-trust guidance point at exposed controllers. Fusion 500 is built to IEC 62443-4-2 SL2. A February 2026 U.S. Army red team found no vulnerabilities that allowed unauthorized access to control.

  • Zone the facility. Access through a gateway.
  • Not a substitute for red-teaming or taking controllers off the internet today.
  • A password change on a controller is an operations event.
Residual risk is never zero.

TRL 6, and in production elsewhere

Fusion 500 is a TRL 6 prototype demonstrated in a relevant environment and on contract with the Air Force. The same product is in production control at an ExxonMobil chemical terminal.
